Hurt abused and raped Marlee Matlin when she was a teenager and this should not be forgotten.

I remember there was a place on Market Street in Brighton that offered sensory deprivation tanks. Always wanted to try that, but was always a little afraid.

I thought there was a place in JP that started offering these. I think you were floating in some jelly or something.

Adam had a posting about it if I believe..
